Author Notes
The original, traditional Waldorf salad consists of a mix of apples, celery, and walnuts with a creamy dressing. Delicious, absolutely – but we find that version has almost too much crunch. So we skip the walnuts and use tarragon in place of parsley. (If you can’t live without walnuts, toast them in a dry pan over medium heat before adding to the salad.) Serve with grilled fish or pork. —Adam Rapoport
